    We have so many fond memories of Jack when our families got together. One especially resonates with me when we were vacationing in Orlando and Jack painted faces on each toe and began singing the song "great pretender" which left all of us laughing. He enjoyed his baseball and coached his sons with passion for his favorite sport. He also assisted me when we coached Jack, Brad and his nephews, Steven, Eric and Mark. He always enjoyed getting together with the Brady family. Give our love to Eric!!

    Steve and I knew Jack for 35 years! We have so many wonderful memories. My sons loved their Uncle Jack very much, he made them laugh and always created some kind of fun for them to participate in. Our boys (his two and our three) grew up together. Jack would cook ribs and then the kids would have an "egg toss"! Halloween was always fun at Uncle Jacks house too. The beach was a favorite! We will miss Jack and continue to recall funny memories....there are so many! We will always smile when we think of you, we love you...RIP Love Debbie and Steve

    I only had the pleasure of meeting Jack a few times. Brad and Jen's wedding was one of those times. He certainly was the life of the party. He danced the night away. I'll always remember how happy he was that night. Thinking of all of his family and friends, and hoping that all of the great memories help to ease the pain. Hugs. Christi Stitzer
